ServeRAID Error-Recovery Commands
The IPSSEND error-recovery commands include the following:
GETSTATUS
Use the GETSTATUS command to display the current logical-drive status
for the most recent rebuild, synchronization, or logical-drive migration.
The status includes such information as the remaining size of the logical
drive, the percentage completed for the function in process, or information
about the most recently completed logical-drive function.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
IPSSEND GETSTATUS Controller
Replace:
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
REBUILD
Use the REBUILD command to rebuild a designated disk drive.
This command is valid for disk arrays that contain one or more
logical drives that are in the critical (CRT) state.
Progress is indicated during the rebuild operation, but you can
also use the GETSTATUS command to obtain progress information
about the rebuild.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
IPSSEND REBUILD Controller DCh DSID NCh NSID
Replace:
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
° DCh with the channel number for the Defunct drive (1 to 3)
° DSID with the SCSI ID for the Defunct Drive (0 to 15)
° NCh with the channel number for the New Drive (1 to 3)
° NSID with the SCSI ID for the New Drive (0 to 15)
SETSTATE
Use the SETSTATE command to change the state of a physical device from its
current state to a new state.
Attention You must be very careful when you use
this command. For example, you might lose data if you reset a Defunct (DDD)
device to Online (ONL) without first performing a Rebuild operation.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
IPSSEND SETSTATE Controller Channel SID NState
Replace:
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
° Channel with the channel number for the drive (1 to 3)
° SID with the SCSI ID for the drive (0 to 15)
° NState with the new state for the drive.
Valid states are: EMP for Empty, RDY for Ready, HSP for Hot Spare,
SHS for Standby Hot Spare, DDD for Defunct Disk Drive,
DHS for Defunct Hot Spare, RBL for Rebuild, SBY for Standby, and
ONL for Online. (See 'Setting Physical Device States' for more information.)
UNBLOCK
Use the UNBLOCK command to gain access to a blocked logical drive.
RAID level-0 logical drives become blocked if they are in an array that
contains RAID level-1 or level-5 logical drives and the array is being rebuilt.
Because the RAID level-0 logical drives cannot be rebuilt, the data stored
on the RAID level-0 logical drives is damaged and should not be accessed.
After you issue the UNBLOCK command, you must re-create or restore the data
previously stored on the RAID level-0 logical drives.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
IPSSEND UNBLOCK Controller DriveNum
Replace:
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
° DriveNum with the logical drive number (0 to 7)
